We had to completely rebuild the hydraulic resivoir, the motor had seized up after sitting in the field for 2 years so we had to free it up and hone the cylinder carefully, and we also had to have the head re-worked becuase all of the valve springs had decompressed due to the heat. I had to replace the gas tank due to the heat messing up the inside and the welded seam. I also had to replace the steering shaft knuckle that fits into the steering support arm because it had totally melted and dissappeared. Everything electrical (wires, switches, relays, solenoids, etc.) were GONE and didn't exist on the tractor. I had to do a bunch of research on the later style 140's to see what all was on the tractor and where it went. We had to replace the hood as well because the heat had warped the metal and it was wavy all over and needed new latch springs. The radiator was salvagable after we had the neck soldered back on by a local radiator shop. The heat had melted the solder on the neck causing it to come loose. We didn't have to replace any seals at all nor did we have to take the rear section down and rebuild. Ummmm........I have a parts list in Excel spreadsheet I can email you (or post on here if it will let me somehow).
It was quite a project and full at the same time. I just wish I could have kept the tractor.
She informed us that the tractor had between 200 and 400 hours on it and we believed every bit of it because of the way the pistons looked. They bought it new and once we got it going again, it was evident that this tractor is still "new". The whole tractor is tight and sound like the day they left the factory. I have NEVER seen another tractor in that good of shape unless it had been fully restored!!! Even the rear rims had not a speck of rust anywhere on them and you could still read the stampings on the insides. haha. The front cowl didn't have a dent or a ping anywhere. Hard to believe it is in that good of shape. Really makes me proud to save a tractor especially when it was in that good of shape!!

Today's Featured Article - Farmall 460: That's My Girl - by LeAnn R. Ralph. How many sounds can you think of that are as familiar to you as your own breathing? What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you.
